Details please? For example, on Ubuntu (recent ones I think) you need to add a line like: dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8 into your /etc/network/interfaces file so that on bootup it will populate /etc/resolv.conf properly.

That looks good, but addresses still aren't resolving.  You might need to reboot, but first just tell us the Distribution and version you're using. John
